What would need to change about the way articles work for this to change? would link hover previews make a significant difference? copy and pasting the intro from links?
I would probably read an inline intro, depending on how many of them they were. (Like I would probably read the first few, and then skim after that.)
Hover previews wouldn’t do much; I usually read this kind of content on my phone.
It’s less about convenience and more about me mildly disliking the nonlinear media experience. Sometimes a link is so intriguing that I do open it, but I almost never stop reading the original page to read the link — it’s usually ends up in a queue as the next thing to read after I finish the original page. My prior for any given link being worth my time is pretty low, so I either need to need the additional info to understand the current context, or I need to think that the link would be worth reading on its own, completely separate from the page I’m on right now.
